Author: Richard Matheson
Publisher: New York: Tor, 1998.
An unconventional love story bound by time, this romantic and melancholy first person narrative is a moving story about a life of an individual with terminal illness. A dying screenwriter, Richard Collier, becomes romantically interested with Elise Mckenna, an actress in the 19th century who he has never met before. He becomes so immersed in his fondness for this actress that his strong connection to Elise draws him back in time to San Diego in 1896. Playing on the idea that reality is what we believe is real, the author highlights how strong desires can turn things in to reality. This magical romance has inspired the movie ‘What Dreams May Come’ true starring Robin Williams and has become an intriguing love story that transcends time and space. Also available as an audiobook.
